Motherhood

"No occupation in this world is more trying to soul and body than the care of young children. What patience and wisdom, skill and unlimited love it calls for. God gave the work to mothers and furnished them for it, and they cannot shirk it and be guiltless.” ― Isabella MacDonald Alden (The Aunt of Grace Livingston Hill)

From "On The Banks of Plum Creek"

"After Laura and Mary had washed and wiped the dishes, swept the floor, made their bed, and dusted, they settled down with their books. But the house was so cozy and pretty that Laura kept looking up at it."

- Laura Ingalls Wilder

Human Frailty of the Godly Soul

Charles Spurgeon:

"The life of Luther might suffice to give a thousand instances,and he was by no means of the weaker sort. His great spirit wasoften in the seventh heaven of exultation, and as frequently onthe borders of despair. His very deathbed was not free from tempests, and he sobbed himself into his last sleep like a greatly wearied child."

From "The Little Preacher" (p. 146)

"As for her, like most women, she had but one ambition. To be a good wife and a good mother, and to be beloved by her husband and children, was all she asked. [She was] a busy, affectionate, cheerful little housewife, whose voice would never be heard in the streets, but whose memory would always live in a few faithful hearts."

- Elizabeth Prentiss, 1800's.

Housewife:A married woman who stays home. This is a lifelong vocation. It is an old-fashioned term, and something to be proud of.Not a "domestic engineer." Not a "home manager."An old fashioned housewife, who keeps the home,and abides there.- Mrs. White

There is nothing on earth like Vermont at dawn. You will see a foggy haze over the mountains. The bright green fields are covered with morning dew. There is a silence, a peace all around you.

Right now, everyone is sleeping. I am sitting here listening to gospel music and preparing for another day of ministry work – this ministry is to guide the souls of my family heavenward. Oh, what a privilege!

“There are hallowed spots on earth that are sacred only to one individual or a very few. It may be a certain step on the stair where an important decision was made. It may be a board in the floor of the old home place where a father or mother knelt to pray. . . It may be a place in the barn, or along the road, or on a certain street corner where something unforgettable was heard that changed the destiny of a soul.”

Early mornings are always precious - especially when you're the only one up and about and you have time to even "think". Guiding the souls of our family could and does mean so many things, to so many people in so many different ways. I guess we have to do what applies and has effect on our own, yes? Hallowed spots indeed!
